Fantastic Friday Session: An Archetypal Journey on your ‘Inner Child’

The Fantastic Friday sessions take you on an archetypal journey. Every last friday of the month we dive into one or two archetypes. This time we’ll focus on our inner Child, to be more specific our inner Playful Child and our inner Wounded Child. You’ll learn their roles inside you and how you recognize them. And we’ll explore their added value in your life nowadays.

Your Archetypal Child

In this Fantastic Friday session our inner Child is central. The Inner Child archetype represents on one hand the timeless, ageless and infinite aspects of life. The sparkle of our eternal youth, or the longing for that, that is inside all of us. On the other hand this archetype is strongly connected to the painful moments of our very early years of our own childhood, or even before that, so to the trauma’s and moments of crisis of our ancestors, that keep on living inside our subconscious.

That’s why in the narrative work we divide the Inner Child archetype into two ‘versions’: The Playful Child, also known as the Eternal Child or the Divine Child and the Wounded Child, also known as the Orphaned Child.

In this Fantastic Friday session we’ll dive into both these archetypes, as they are by definition working side by side inside us.

Deeper longing

I believe we all have our Inner Child somewhere at or around our inner boardroom table. In some situations one of the versions is standing on the table jumping and screaming for attention. If that is the case we’ll show childish and/or irresponsible behaviour in the real world. We do things in life we regret afterwards… I myself know of some of these moments in my life 😉. If one combines these moments and dives deeper into them you’ll recognize a deeper pattern in you. You’ll discover a longing inside you, of which you didn’t know it was there…

But for some of us their inner Child is hiding somewhere under the boardroom table. As a result of that you are too serious in the real life. You are probably taking and feeling too much responsibility in what needs to be done. I often see that is the case with women who were the eldest daughter in there family of origin. These women would love to be more playful in their lives nowadays, but it seems that there is a brake on everything they do. It is a challenge for them to invite their Playful Child at the table and take him or her seriously.

Because in the end we all want a sip from the well of the eternal youth and be playful outside with the people we love. During this Fantastic Friday Session we’ll do some exercises to rebalance them in our lives.

Outcome of the webinar

After this webinar you’ll know and recognize when your Inner Child is active in your life, both the Playful Child and the Wounded Child. This will help you to live a more balanced life in general, but also to be able to react in specific situation in a more balanced way.

Through the exercises we have done and which you can easily redo yourself afterwards, you are able to create a stronger balance between your inner and outer world.
